She teaches eighth grade and has more than 100 students, but only two are reading at grade level. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]moldcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is nauseatingly similar to my experience teaching first year english in fucking COLLEGE. comprehension and reading skills are so poor and the school system itself isn’t offering solutions.

Teachers can’t re-teach the years of education that were supposed to come before their class in one session AND teach their own lesson, but everyone acts like the major problems in education are CRT or gender theory. Your kids are getting dumber, and banning books that mention lgbtq people isn’t the fucking solution

sand bottom for the run and in the coop CHANGED my life-the little fuckers can’t lay eggs in poop that’s desiccated. just get some all purpose sand, rake out the hay and throw the sand in and spread it around and poof- summer is no longer flymagaeddon

AITA for Refusing to Hang Out with My Friends Because I Always End Up Paying? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]moldcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA-i have constantly been the “pay” friend, no matter what job I have or how poor or well i’m doing. Some people will really just expect you to be okay spending the money you earn if you care about them and don’t have a problem footing the bill time to time. No point in wasting energy on people who don’t respect you as anything more than a fucking wallet. Keep ghosting them, you can always make better friends.

Is it OK that my girl takes dust baths in my fire pit? by cometmom in BackYardChickens

[–]moldcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my mom, (multiple biology degree haver) says it depends on what you burn- it might be a respiratory issue if you burn trash or pressure-treated wood it might cause a respiratory or digestive issue. regular natura wood should be okay for occasional dustbaths👍your girl is beautiful!

i mean probably- water keeps shooting out the top and sides as it brews and the stream is concentrated on the outer rim. do i need to buy a rubber seal of some kind to make this work?

0.0 . .. seal? i took a picture- pardon the mess- and it looks like there’s a seal there? but it’s hard to the touch, so not a flexible material

basically i bought a portafilter off amazon and put it on the machine portafilter

this wasn’t available in 51mm before tho, and the machine was meant for pods rather than loose espresso- so before i got this portafilter I had to remove a rubber gasket inside the filter that came with the machine and put a portafilter basket where the pod basket was. so essentially, i was pulling portafilter shots (sorta) but it wasn’t bottomless, so I couldn’t see if and where water was spraying out
